"1 don't want to stay here Let me go with you." whlsnpered the young Grouse.

"Have you forgotten that you cannot fly?" replied his mother. tlYou are safer here than any- where else in the Green Forest. That is, you are if you keep still. Now alt close to the trunk of the tree, and don't move until I come back."

With this Mother Grouse hopped down from branch to branch until she reached the ground. cautiously she moved away. A moment or two later the young Grouse heard the roar of her wings as she took to the air.

In all the Green Forest there was no unhappier bird, more (right- ened bird than was the young Grouse hidden in that hemlock tree. Every time he peeped out he could see Hooty the Owl in a neighboring tree. Some of the time Hooty's eyes were closed. When they were open they looked so big and fierce and hungry that they made the frightened young Grouse shiver and shake. He was sure that Hooty saw him, which of course liooty didn't at all for he, would have caught him.

At first he hadn't seen Mrs. Hooty. She had kept so still that even though he looked straight at her she looked so much like part of the tree that he didn't see her. It wasn't until she had lifted a

big wing to stretch it that he saw her. He had thought he was as

IXCELLENT PLAY

South deserved extra credit in the following deal because he overcame a formidable combinat- ion: bad breaks and good defense.

Westy diamond raise, South took the responsibility of bidding game on his own instead of vaguely in- viting that game with a simple rebid.

West opened his fourth-highest

ler (of which there are too many) to ask his partner for a second "vote of confidence." Since North had given a free spade raise over
